Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with many comorbidities requiring complex management. We described treatment patterns for common modifiable CKD complications (high blood pressure, anemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidosis) according to severity of CKD and examined factors associated with the absence of drug therapy, among participants with a persistent comorbidity, for 1 year in children enrolled in the CKiD study.
